About Caren

I paint for the pure, selfish joy of it! I am inspired by what is within me - by the way I feel and perceive the people, objects, events and ideas that make up my world - and of conveying something of that in each new work. I am fascinated by the details of my world. I love to create my own little worlds, intense, highly personal, the contrast of dark and mysterious with the light and what it reveals.
For me it's all about the way I feel - the way painting makes me feel, and the way the feeling is the painting.
